Allan: Just to follow up on what Brian indicated in his previous email, there is quite an interesting situation developing at 14.275 and the surrounding frequencies. For some reason, a Canadian operator has elected to play a recording of a conversation that took place back in 2006 between him and another licensee -- N1FM. Brian Crow was not involved in that conversation -- although the Canadian licensee is currently trying to ascribe the comments of N1FM to Brian. Again let me reiterate, Brian Crow (K3VR) was NOT involved in that conversation back in 2006, so the attribution to Brian that you heard was nothing more than a weak attempt to get Brian in trouble with the FCC. It did not work.
Let me know if you have any further questions about the situation.
Chuck: In order to avoid confusion going forward, you might want to advise all of the OOs of the situation with the Canadian licensee
Thanks.
Laura

Hello Allan,
If your CW is rusty, simply listen to the recording, wherein Canadian Amateur VE7KFM explains that he has just finished broadcasting an 18 minute 55 second tape recording, made in September, 2006, featuring the voices of other amateurs (none of them were me) on 14272 kHz, during the period in question.
Please get back to me with your findings, at your convenience.
Thanks
